5. Shane Watson and Kieron Pollard
Shane Watson and Kieron Pollard are two of the finest all-rounders in IPL history. Both have done a tremendous job for their respective clubs in the last 10 years. It’s always exciting when these two players are up against each other. But in the 2013 season, things went a little overboard between the two.
Rajasthan Royals and Mumbai Indians were taking on each other in a crucial game and Kieron Pollard gave Shane Watson a not-so-pleasant reception. The duo had a verbal spat for a few seconds before Watson walked up to the on-field umpire Asad Rauf. Pollard took the catch to dismiss Watson, which added more spice to the heated altercation.
The battle didn’t end there as Watson kept giving Pollard a mouthful from his dugout while the Caribbean lad was fielding at mid-on. Rahul Dravid had to intervene to ensure the scene didn’t escalate further and took the Australian into the dressing room.
